None can love freedom heartily, but good men... the rest love not freedom, but license.
- Milton, John
Freedom Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Freedom

1.
How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

2.
I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

3.
If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.
Carl Schurz

4.
When we were told that by freedom we understood free enterprise, we did very little to dispel this monstrous falsehood. Wealth and economic well-being, we have asserted, are the fruits of freedom, while we should have been the first to know that this kind of happiness has been an unmixed blessing only in this country, and it is a minor blessing compared with the truly political freedoms, such as freedom of speech and thought, of assembly and association, even under the best conditions.
Arendt, Hannah

5.
You don't have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.
Malcolm X

6.
We hold in our hands, the most precious gift of all: Freedom. The freedom to express our art. Our love. The freedom to be who we want to be. We are not going to give that freedom away and no one shall take it from us!
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider

7.
We are all of us the worse for too much liberty.
Terence

8.
Until economic freedom is attained for everybody, there can be no real freedom for anybody.
La Follette, Suzanne

9.
The first principle of a free society is an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum.
Stevenson, Adlai E.

10.
If we wish to free ourselves from enslavement, we must choose freedom and the responsibility this entails.
Buscaglia, Leo

11.
It will free man from his remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet. It will open to him the gates of heaven.
Braun, Wernher Von

12.
It is easy to believe in freedom of speech for those with whom we agree.
Mckern, Leo

13.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
Orwell, George

14.
Perfect freedom is reserved for the man who lives by his own work and in that work does what he wants to do.
Collingwood, Robin G.

15.
Governing sense, mind and intellect, intent on liberation, free from desire, fear and anger, the sage is forever free.
Bhagavad Gita

16.
We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

17.
In the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.
Baruch, Bernard M.

18.
The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave. His fetters fall... freedom and slavery are mental states.
Gandhi, Mahatma

19.
In the light of his vision he has found his freedom: his thoughts are peace, his words are peace and his work is peace.
Dhammapada

20.
A slave is a free man if he is content with his lot; a free man is a slave if he seeks more than that.

21.
They want to be free and they do not know how to be just.
Sieyes, Abbe

22.
A forest bird never wants a cage.
Ibsen, Henrik

23.
We must determine whether we really want freedom -- whether we are willing to dare the perils of... rebirth... For we never take a step forward without surrendering something that we may have held dear, without dying to that which has been.
Hanson, Virginia

24.
True obedience is true freedom.
Beecher, Henry Ward

25.
The true character of liberty is independence, maintained by force.
Voltaire

26.
Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

27.
Only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.
James, William

28.
The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom. But in the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.
Baruch, Bernard M.

29.
My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.

30.
Nothing is more disgusting than the crowing about liberty by slaves, as most men are, and the flippant mistaking for freedom of some paper preamble like a Declaration of Independence, or the statute right to vote, by those who have never dared to think or to act.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere.
Voltaire

32.
American freedom consists largely in talking nonsense.
Howe, Edgar Watson

33.
Liberty is slow fruit. It is never cheap; it is made difficult because freedom is the accomplishment and perfectness of man.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

34.
Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself.
Rushdie, Salman

35.
Men are free when they are in a living homeland, not when they are straying and breaking away. Men are free when they are obeying some deep, inward voice of religious belief. Obeying from within. Men are free when they belong to a living, organic, believing community, active in fulfilling some unfulfilled, perhaps unrealized purpose. Not when they are escaping to some wild west. The most unfree souls go west, and shout of freedom. Men are freest when they are most unconscious of freedom. The shout is a rattling of chains, always was.
Lawrence, D. H.

36.
Freedom is but the possibility of a various and indefinite activity; while government, or the exercise of dominion, is a single, yet real activity. The longing for freedom, therefore, is at first only too frequently suggested by the deep-felt consciousness of its absence.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

37.
Mankind has a free will; but it is free to milk cows and to build houses, nothing more.
Luther, Martin

38.
Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
Reagan, Ronald

39.
I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy -- but that could change.
Quayle, Dan

40.
Only that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature, and is determined in its actions by itself alone.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)

41.
A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
Friedman, Milton

42.
Every general increase of freedom is accompanied by some degeneracy, attributable to the same causes as the freedom.
Cooley, Charles Horton

43.
For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.
Cary, Joyce

44.
So far as a person thinks; they are free.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

45.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of that old Negro spiritual, Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
King Jr. Martin Luther

46.
The only way we'll get freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world. We are blood brothers to the people of Brazil, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba -- yes Cuba too.
Malcolm X

47.
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
Malcolm X

48.
Freedom -- to walk free and own no superior.
Whitman, Walt

49.
There's something contagious about demanding freedom.
Morgan, Robin

50.
The saving man becomes the free man.
Proverb, Chinese
